Side A encapsulates the psychedelic groove ridden dance floor focused styles of Abdul Raeva and Boulderhead.

The B-side showcases the more uplifting ‘light and airy’ side of Zobol’s melody enriched productions intertwined with Toke’s fully charged open/close/sunrise/sunset masterpiece.

A ton of hardware, software, technical expertise and musical flare combined with hours of practice have been funneled into this next blend of which I thoroughly hope you enjoy. I hope it helps bring joy and love into the much needed dance floors of our post-pandemic society.

Thank you to all the artists involved.

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series.

Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid drenched electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia.
 
Rotterdam duo Black Cadmium step up first with Meliorate; a dark and rolling tom-filled workout, before Chicago based artist Aguila switches up the mood with their sunny breaks-infused garage jam. Paving the way for another summertime roller, Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén provides some blissful tech house before Estonian duo Abdul Raeva pick up the pace with trance inspired club weapon Pearlescent. Rising Belgian artist Azo pushes the limits with her unique mashup of fast paced 90’s rave and acid house before Belfast hustler Optmst beautifully rounds things off with the dreamy breakbeats of Umwaya. 
 
100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies. 

Release date August 6th via Bandcamp only.

Reflex Blue takes us on a five part journey through the terrain of his mind to bring in to reality the Twin Waters EP.
*
Through this project Reflex’s unique fusion of deep, earthy sounds and other worldly ethereal textures, help us find the way back to a primal place, buried within us all.
*
Digital and natural worlds come together in this project to work in harmony, coupled with a healthy dose of psychedelic accents, we are left in a mind altering state somewhere between transcendent euphoria and ecstatic dance… We hope you enjoy the ride.

CKNOWEP44 | Fader Cap - Club Telepathy EP incl. Shedbug Remix

Esteemed proponent of outré dancefloor manoeuvres, Superconscious Records co-founder Fantastic Man makes his Kalahari debut proper.

Having shown up for rework duties on a couple of occasions, we find the mutable oddball at his most trippy and esoteric. In fact, OYSTER42 is the handiwork of a producer who has his formula of balmy, lysergic dance music down to an exact science.

‘Alltogethernow’ gets on a swaggering cosmic tip, all sub-loaded and celestial as levitational arpeggios and funked-up groove dovetail to mesmeric effect. ‘Alpha’, on the other hand, takes a vision quest through enchanted jungle terrain. Initiating with a hypnotic ritual chant, it’s tunnelling and murkily psychedelic; occulted dancefloor rapture tailor-made for the wormhole interior.

As if it were some artefact from a distant ‘90s utopia, Bioxy’ evokes a time when warehouse parties littered the Melbourne landscape. Where its predecessor evokes ceremony and ritual, this is an anachronistic, dilated flashback to simpler times. FM kicks it languid and life-affirming on the closing number. Radiant synth lines flutter with a gentle headiness as ‘Trojan Force’ takes us full circle with a reprise of the rainforest FX.

DOUBLE TBAG

ISLA 22 - 'Outside Of Time' is a collaboration between Interactive Test's Riccardo Falsini and Vancouverite AVR, under Falsini's long-standing 'I Believe' moniker.

Cover art by Elisabetta Brizzi

Pre-order available through Juno:
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/i-believe-outside-time-ep/743066-01/

In the early nineties, directly influenced by the Summer of Love of 1988, Florentine Riccardo Falsini began his project I Believe–a miscellaneous collection of records, compilations, and collaborations–released through his label Interactive Test (co-run with brother Franco Falsini). 

These sounds would eventually reach Vancouver-based producer AVR (Avery La Rochelle) in the summer of 2018. Compelled by Riccardo’s legacy as a producer and a deejay, Avery reached out to the Italian producer. 

A friendship formed that would see them collaborate on various dance events in Vancouver, as well as their Outside Of Time EP, a reverie of hallucinatory trance music. Over the past year, the duo recorded these tracks with the free spirit of early rave culture in mind.

Outside Of Time is certified dance floor therapy that inspires the listener to believe in the power of love and music.

Lisene enters the rift with the Mind Palace EP. Fractal like sound design and complex melodies paint a picture of life on the other side of the wormhole.
